Home » Reader question » Reader question: Is it allowed to bring (flower and other) seeds to Thailand?
Dear readers,
Another question.
Is it allowed to bring (flower and other) seeds into the country in Thailand.
Thanks
Janin
I don't really know if it's allowed or not. We do take things with us regularly.
You have to be careful with taking seeds to Thailand. Flower bulbs are allowed. There are various seeds that may contain germs. Consult the Thai embassy in The Hague about the phytosanitary rules of Thailand. Also, if you bring them with you, always fill in the white declaration form that you get on the plane. Also use the red channel at customs on arrival. Prevents a lot of problems.
It is best to have such articles sent by post to possibly. To avoid inconveniences at the airport, we obtained some endive seed from a friend of ours this week, without any problems. Success with it.
Kind regards, Hans-ajax.
Have you ever been checked at the airport? So I don't, yes I zoomed in about 30 years ago on my video recorder for a bribe. Just came in with 5 suitcases, 3 large hand luggage and just walked on. No one who makes a problem about my african seeds .
I wouldn't try.
I myself left 4 large envelopes in an even larger one by post 2 months ago
send to thailand.
the mail never arrived.
gone 110 euros purchase seeds vegetables and 10 euros postage.
I can't say it but I think my vegetable seeds from Holland are now in the
sitting down with a customs officer in bangkok and that he now has strawberries and endive .oa
Hans ajax how is it possible that I didn't receive mine?
I think there is indeed a check in bangkok.
I think if you send it by registered mail it will work.
So far I have brought flower bulbs and seeds of flowers / vegetables on every trip, without experiencing any problems. Perhaps there are regulations on the import of this kind of things, I am not aware of that.
Regards, William
I had 3 million tree seeds come over 6 years ago.
These divided into 20 envelopes, half of which by regular mail and the others by registered mail.
These all arrived simultaneously after 5 days.
I didn't miss 1 seed.
Because I want to start my own orchard in Thailand, I wanted to know which tree seeds are involved.
I know this is off topic but...
In my case it is Paulownia.
A tree species that is virtually unknown here but has a lot of advantages.
Willem ban ampur, on the envelope in which seed was sent to me, there is a sticker customs declaration CN22, which states the content as well as the price date and signature of the official at the post office. It has been on the road for a long time, but it finally ended up in my mailbox. Good luck with your next shipment.
Hans-ajax.
My approach is that you can get into trouble if you have a clod of soil in there.
With all the risk of contamination of bugs in the soil.
I also brought several seeds a few years ago, which were in the manufacturer's packaging and had no problem with customs, but I will not do it a second time because none of these seeds germinated in the Thai soil. , it is better to buy these seeds in Thailand, there is a wide choice and tailored to the Thai soil.
Pim where can they get such a declaration from customs?
I normally order through vreekens seeds from dordrecht and a shop from north holland.
there only Euros served, I had it sent to my neighbor, and
he delivered the envelope to the post office.
I now fear if I order again from that business from North Holland, which is sent to Thailand for 12,95 euros postage costs that it will not arrive again.
pim within 5 days did you fly it over privately?
normal registered mail takes another 10 days.

Willem.
Hans has already answered some of your questions.
The mail is inscrutable, so I had a part sent by regular mail to have a chance that 1 would arrive.
I was therefore very surprised that everything arrived at the same time in such a short time .
Especially that a package of sausage and cheese was sent to me at Christmas, 42.- Euro shipping costs.
When it was going to take a long time, I was allowed to look it up myself in the sorting department, what an indescribable mess it was there made me fear the worst.
A nail under the mountain is easier to find at the scrap metal trade.
In July it was back in NL. as it looked in the photo after unpacking I really felt sorry for the sender and was glad I just couldn't smell the stench.
Most of the mail does not reach me.
It is sometimes a disaster if you have to return something signed before a certain date.
I do everything important at Fed EX, although a package of mine once ended up there at the North Pole.
Now on to the advice of Hans Ajax.
Ground is for walking.
My seeds first went into separate soil to let them grow into a plant.
When we had planted them in the right place, it turned out that they were not successful in various places.
We now know that it is advisable to have a soil investigation done first.
You can find a lot of information via Google.
Chicory , among other things , is almost impossible to grow here .
I must congratulate Hans on his ground .
Look Before You Leap .
Just look at the tomato from Holland, a simple plant that doesn't do well or poorly from Holland in Thailand.
Finally, to Will.
Be careful what kind of tree you are going to work with .
In the case of wood, a permit is often required to be able to fell the tree later.
My family has a few 1000 den trees of 50 years old, to make room for our trees we wanted to process them into furniture.
They have obtained a permit for 5 pieces.
For exports it is a complete disaster .
You may be amazed at what 1 seed can bring about.
Hi Willem ban ampour, as I wrote before on this blog, you can simply ask for a customs declaration CN22 at the post office, which will then be stuck on the envelope (back), but you must specify what the content of the shipment is, and the price, this is signed by the postal worker on duty, and it is simply sent, it took about five weeks.
Greetings from Pattaya, Hans-ajax.
Dear William, soil is soil, at least if you fertilize normally, I had lettuce and endive seed imported from Holland, and the endive stew with bacon was not to be sneezed at, add a karbootje and enjoy. I had so much lettuce that I gave it away to the neighbors, every day lettuce gets boring anyway. However, you have to know what you put in the ground, kale and chicory, for example, really don't work (I did try to grow chicory, but unfortunately.
Greetings Hans-ajax.
Dear people, please remember that you can thoroughly disturb natural habitats by introducing foreign seeds.
In Europe, for example, think of American bird cherry, various water plants that are now destroying our waters.
The same goes for animals; eg Asian ladybugs, Canadian and Egyptian geese…..
Please do not do this to Thai nature.
If you really want to eat endive or Dutch col, you can find them in the supermarkets. Even Brussels sprouts.
Please respect the beautiful nature here, and give the Thai a good example.
They'll still need it.
Your green boy Dirk.
Moderator: It's not clear who you're responding to.
Dirk B, please spare me these statements please, environmental issues and natural habitat, a lettuce plant or an endive plant from the Netherlands sprouted from a seed, you really can't get it any purer, there is really nothing wrong with that, or people in the Netherlands sometimes eat irresponsible vegetables obtained from the wrong seeds, look around you in Thailand to find out what litter lies along the road. Task for the Thai government, right, there and about hygiene when it comes to food (temp. flying on the food at markets, etc. people should worry about that, ever heard of samonella?) No, you hit the spot with those statements misses the mark, and completely ignores what really matters. Bon appetit, but don't get sick.
Greetings Hans-ajax.
What I mean is that it is very dangerous for us to take "normal" seeds to another continent.
The same goes for animals. Just look at the rabbit plague in Australia. The people who introduced a rabbit there also thought this was perfectly normal.
Reactions like this from Hans-Ajax come from people who do not have sufficient knowledge to estimate this. And mind you, I don't blame them either.
It is terrible that these actions create dangerous conditions for nature.
In fact, on every continent of the world.
Try importing a seed in Australia or N Zeeland. You will see how difficult it is (=impossible).
And by giving the example to the Thai, I do indeed mean that we should give them a good example with regard to the environment, because they are really not doing well.
I hope they see it before it's too late.
This is absolutely not a criticism of Hans, but please do not underestimate the dangers of the subject.
